WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE ABOUT " JIVA " AND SUPREMESOUL

Posted by Tushar Dudhrejiya on August 24, 2011 at 1:38pm in Krishna

HARE KRISHNA PRABHUS & MATAS

I HEARD THAT ALL LIVING ENTITY ARE "JIVA " AND SHRI KRISHNA AND HIS EXPANSION (SHIVA /BALRAM) ARE NOT JIV .,

AND I ALSO HEARD THAT ALL LIVING ENTITY ARE PART AND PARCEL OF SUPREME  SOUL.,

SO WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN "SUPREME SOUL/(HIS EXPANSION) " AGAINST JIVA)

I HOPE I CONFESS MY QUESTION

    Hare Krishna Tushar Dudhrejiya Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

    Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna has 3 types of energies:

    ---Internal

    ---Marginal

    ---External

    we are souls are His marginal energies.

    material things are His external energy.

    Srimati Radharani eternal Devotees of Krishna are His internal energy.

    We are qualitatively one and same with Krishna but quantitatively very small. As like the drop of water from the ocean is similar to the ocean water but in quantity it is only a DROP.

    His expansions are Himself as like one oil lamp creates another oil lamp. They do not become less in quantity but creates more such like lamps.

    Lord Shiva is not Krishna and not a Jiva as like we are. It is explained that He is like a curd when Krishna is milk. So curd is curd and never can become milk again.

    Hope other Devotees will answer with the quotes from Srimad Bhagavatam.
